Controversial Yet Popular – Egypt’s “Arab porn” Craze

When you look at country-specific porn trends, you will soon find that Italian people look for “mom sex”, French porn watches want to see “beurette” porn, and Egyptians search for “Arab porn”. Of course, that implies that they want to see a woman wearing a hijab while getting fucked on camera.
Egypt’s entire population can roam the internet freely with no restrictions whatsoever. According to insider sources in the adult movie industry, Egypt is a HUGE market for porn. Some porn producers claim that they specifically tag their videos in such a way that would attract Egyptian viewers. Many political analysts claim that there’s this omnipresent sexual frustration deeply ingrained in Egyptian culture and that’s the main reason why people are so eager to look at other people having sex

As Taboo As It Gets

One of the avid Egyptian porn watchers that we interviewed via Zoom claims that the taboo element is the most attractive part.

“To each their own… as they say, y’know? I know for certain that one of my best buds is BIG into student/teacher roleplay. For some reason, he just can’t get enough of it. I think he pesters his wife about this kinda stuff on a daily basis, right?

Anyway, I’m not stupid, I know that porn creators market things a certain way to make it more appealing, but truth be told – I don’t even care. I came across thousands upon thousands of “Muslim” porno videos in which Arabian girls enjoy passionate sex with white men while keeping their hijabs on. This kinda thing is totally forbidden in the Muslim culture outside marriage. Right?
I know that many Western guys and girls fantasize about having sex with a nun or a priest and for me it’s pretty similar. Taking a vow of chastity just has different connotations when it comes to us, Muslims. So, anyway, the videos that I like the most involve REAL women from Egypt or real Arabic women. These “sex tape” videos are the real deal, y’know? I can’t stop looking at them because there’s always this sense of unpredictability, there’s this raw realism or whatever you might call it. Real passion, too.”

Most of the sentiments above are shared by other people. Yet another anonymous porn watcher claims that it’s the taboo element that drew him in.

“I was not interested in seeing Arabian women at first despite being a red-blooded Egyptian man. Why? I think the fact that I was surrounded by them in real life had something to do with it. Porn is a form of escapism, I think.

It all changed when I visited this site called Araby Babes or something [editor’s note – a quick Google searched revealed that he was talking about Araby Girls and there was this one video starring Mia Khalifa. The rest, as they say, is history. These days I don’t watch anything other than Arab porn videos – both professional and homemade. I’m still sad that Mia decided to call it a career, by the way.”

Future of Egyptian Porn

In Egypt, it’s illegal to produce and distribute pornography. However, it’s completely OK to WATCH porn. This is an interesting precedent because since there’s no professionally-made pornography from Egypt, Egyptians turn to homemade movies instead. In our opinion, this trend will continue for years and years to come because there’s no revolution in sight. Nobody is in the right frame of mind to change anything about the way current culture operates, so there’s no real way for the Egyptian people to baldly proclaim their desires. You can’t just say that you want Egyptian men and women to be able to shoot porn.
